Target Populations Training

In June 2010, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a series of seven health questions to be asked of each client at point of intake. The intent of these new requirements is to identify and connect clients with the resources available to them in their community. In response, the Missouri Association for Social Welfare (MASW) has begun working in collaboration with Missouri agencies to provide webinar-based trainings specific to each question. For your convenience, these webinars and their accompanying documentation have been posted below.
